He was boxed into a parking lot by other drivers after they say he smashed into at least two vehicles.

“We were chasing him for about 20 minutes,” said a witness.  “He parked and started going again, so I punctured his tires.”

Police took the driver into custody Friday night and say they will investigate whether the suspect was impaired.

Police say nobody was injured in the incident.
